GARY TUCHMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Kate, I will tell you, in the middle of this big rain storm, where police are still working outside Ariel Castro’s house and inside, there’s this question about what the police have done here. You know, over the years, we’ve done lots of stories about wonderful, amazing outcomes in crime cases because of police heroics.

This is a wonderful outcome, but not because of police heroics.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

TUCHMAN (voice-over): Eric Poindexter believes he could have helped Cleveland police end this kidnapping nightmare nine years ago.

ERIC POINDEXTER: My brother and I was driving down the street on the day Gina DeJesus was abducted.

TUCHMAN: The street is West 105th, only a couple blocks away from the school Gina was walking home from the day she was kidnapped. Eric and his brother were driving when a car came up on their left in the turning lane.

(on camera): And then you saw a girl walking down the sidewalk on that side of the street.

POINDEXTER: Yes, right over there, right by the corner, right there by that brick building.

TUCHMAN: And what did you see this driver do after that?

POINDEXTER: Once we crossed Fidelity here, this intersection, he swerved in front of us, almost hitting us, to get into the — where the parking lane, quote, unquote, is. And as soon as we passed him up, he did a U-turn and didn’t care if anybody was coming the other way or not. He just hit a U-turn right in front of the — right in front of toward where the little girl was walking.

TUCHMAN (voice-over): In this week’s police report about the case, authorities revealed that Gina has confirmed she was kidnapped on West 105th Street.

(on camera): After Eric and his brother saw the car make a U-turn and head toward the girl, they also made a U-turn — angry that they almost got hit by the driver and also concerned about the girl. But when they got to the spot where they had seen the girl, they no longer did. She was gone.

(voice-over): It wasn’t long before reports surfaced about a missing girl named Gina DeJesus. So Eric and his brother say they immediately called the police to tell them what they saw. POINDEXTER: She was wearing tight black pants and a puffy gray jacket.

TUCHMAN (on camera): And what was the description of Gina DeJesus after she went missing?

POINDEXTER: She was — that was a little girl, a Puerto Rican girl, with long, curly black hair wearing tight black pants and a gray puffy jacket.

TUCHMAN: The same exact description?

POINDEXTER: The same exact description.

TUCHMAN (voice-over): Eric says the authorities didn’t ever seem to think their information was credible.

POINDEXTER: It seemed like we — they were looking at us like we were just looking for attention or something like that.

TUCHMAN (on camera): The police?

POINDEXTER: Yes. They — they didn’t seem to give any real desire to the case, you know what I’m saying, what we was telling them. They thought it was just, we were blowing smoke up their butts or something, I don’t know.

TUCHMAN: Why do you think that is?

POINDEXTER: I have no clue.

TUCHMAN (voice-over): And after the arrest of Ariel Castro, Eric and his brother say that is the face they saw behind the wheel that day.

But theirs isn’t the only story that, if acted upon, could have ended the terror allegedly brought by Ariel Castro

Once again, we have what appears to me at least, cops going out of their way to avoid arresting Castro. They would have had a good facial description, vehicle description, and possibly even lic plate no.

Fourteen-year-old Gina DeJesus has been missing for a year. And Saturday, the FBI released the sketch of her alleged abductor. Investigators say they are not giving up hope of finding DeJesus. They say shortly after she disappeared last year, two students reported a suspicious man near the school where Gina DeJesus attended. The FBI sketch shows a Hispanic man, who is 25-35 years old. He’s described as being about 5’10” tall and 165-185 pounds. He also has green eyes. Investigators say this is significant because green eyes are rare in the Hispanic community. You many recall that Gina DeJesus disappeared while walking home from her middle school. That day, two students noticed the man in the sketch, but investigators say they didn’t think it was significant. “This didn’t look like a good lead at the time,” said Bob Hawk, FBI

Apparently, the image of the sketch was supposed to be aired on America’s Most Wanted, on April 16th, 2005.

We had a lot of what we thought were really good leads. We covered those. They were unsuccessful.” The new sketch will be shown on ‘America’s Most Wanted’ Saturday night. They’re hoping someone will recognize the man and call.

The image was never broadcast. Hmm.

To me the was an obvious coverup. There were way too many opportunities for the cops to follow up on this guy, but they never did. I can count at least 10 times where cops were pointed to Castro, include twice with the FBI, yet witnesses were completely ignored.

      A cover-up or complete incompetence? I think the police there are just stupid and lazy.
